The subharmonic acoustic emission of a stable oscillating bubble inside a rigid tube is investigated by direct numerical simulation. The mechanisms of bubble-tube interaction on the acoustic wave emitted by the bubble are clarified. When the bubble is small compared to the tube diameter, a critical threshold for the pressure amplitude appears beyond the point which nonspherical effects become important and bubble breaks. For a finite tube diameter, the scattered wave by the bubble is shown to generate a plane wave where the intensity of the subharmonic component becomes maximum for an optimal distance between the bubble and the tube wall. This effect seems to be directly related to the appearance of local resonance phenomena and a bubble resonance shift where liquid's compressibility plays a major role.

Excavation of underground engineering structures involving deeply buried water-rich soft rocks is generally carried out using the artificial freezing method. A series of undrained uniaxial and triaxial shear and creep tests were conducted on soft rocks under different confining pressures (0, 0.2, 0.

Phytotoxic air pollutants such as atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO) are among the major stresses affecting tree photosynthesis in urban areas. We clarified the relationship between NO concentrations and photosynthetic function for three major urban trees, Prunus × yedoensis, Rhododendron pulchrum, and Ginkgo biloba, planted in Kyoto and surrounding cities, combining our published data and new data collected from 2020 to 2023. High NO increased long-term water use efficiency for all species.

Riverine NO and N fluxes, key components of the global nitrogen budget, are known to be influenced by river size (often represented by average river width), yet the specific mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear. This study examined how environmental and microbial factors influenced sediment NO and N fluxes across rivers with varying widths (2.8 to 2,000 m) in China.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) related cognitive decline occurs at relatively young ages in individuals with Down syndrome (DS, early‐mid 50s) and in those with autosomal dominant mutations (ADAD, 40‐50s). Both groups show similar patterns of amyloid accumulation. We examined if brain volumes are similarly affected by AD pathology in individuals with DS and ADAD.

Background: The diagnostic capability of fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) is well established, but few studies have explored the utility of repeating scans, especially when using semi‐quantification methods to analyze the decrement between them.
Methods: We retrospectively selected all patients at our clinic submitted to two or more FDG‐PETs. The initial and final FDG‐PET of each patient underwent semi‐quantitative analysis using the CortexID® Suite software (GE Healthcare) for 26 pre‐determined regions normalized for global cortical uptake.
